Description
In 1919, desperate and fleeing an abusive past, Kitty Weekes takes a nursing position at Portis House, an isolated hospital for soldiers traumatized by the Great War. Though the estate’s patients suffer from nightmares and nervous attacks, Kitty soon senses that something darker haunts the crumbling house—and that its strict rules conceal a dangerous secret. As she forms an uneasy alliance with Jack Yates, a troubled inmate whose past is as mysterious as the forces surrounding them, Kitty must confront both the supernatural menace within Portis House and the wounds that bind its inhabitants together. Blending Gothic suspense, historical mystery, romance, and psychological insight, the novel explores trauma, silence, survival, and the long reach of the dead.
